Quote:Crazy brilliant.

 

Part of that sentence is wrong (it existed before the death of Michael Brown), and part of it is up for debate (what the evidence did or didn't prove).

 

I wish candidates would have said "all lives matter", but more because I didn't want their comments to become attack ad fodder and talking points for their GOP opponents, who will again use them to try and convince middle class America that Democrats don't care about them.

Understandable sure but it would also be the same thing as saying you support All Marriage Rights as opposed to LGBT Marriage rights. The issue isn't that all marriage rights don't matter it's that the LGBT marriage rights were the issue of the movement because one set of rights was clearly superior to the other. BLM is obviously not as quantifiable in this regard but I think the analogy works.
